he has to be to obama's right. i don't think he's going to have the money to do everything he's proposing. by the way, he also wants to link defense to gdp and hold it to 4% of gdp which over time would be a very large difference between he and obama, but he says it's aspirational in his own budget. but i think other president would probably cut some ground forces. i think either president is going to have a hard time wrestling with iran and may wind up being complicit or even participatory in an israeli attack which runs at some counter to my first point, but the last point i would make is i think either president even within his own plan is going to need more money to accomplish it than currently projected. in other words, like all presidents before them, there's a mismatch in these two gentlemen's plans and budgets. their plans to reduce weapons or limit the growth sound nice, but they actually would require more money than currently projected. when you have firm caps from a budget framework, it gets hard to do

obama has a different task. reagan was all about america. obama is we are above that now. we are not just parochial. we are not just chauvinistic. we are not just provincial. we stand for something. away, obama is standing above the country. above the world. he is sort of god. he will bring all sides together. even for the mainstream media the reference to god is a little over the top. but leaving that aside the notion that obama stands above the country and his view of his role as president is above the country is something we should find very troubling. that basic attitude is there and should be troubling when we consider its implications for american sovereignty. let me consider some specific challenges we will consider some more a question of continuing erosion of sovereignty. but issues that are the breadth of the subject matter that are involved show the challenges u.s. constitutionalism and sovereignty face. let me start with national security. that is the most important against threats to don't wish us well. i start from the proposition not just on national securit

big obama supporter. but i have been stopped in my tracks on the issue of the, i won't even name names because the names inflammatory but, on the issue of the extra judicial of two american citizens overseas. there are always going to be bad people in this country who threaten people. this is the first timeÑi in our nation's history that the second testify branch in a secret proceeding has tried, presented evidence to itself and determined that an american citizen is worthy of being killed without presenting any formal charges against that person or even revealing what the processes are for putting that person on a list to be killed. and i can not square this with the candidate i supported in the election who seemed to be the beneficiary of some of the best that our legal education has to offer. who seemed to be himself a beneficiary of the 14th amendment and i feel like i have missed something very profound about his background that needs explanation. >> well i do think that is a very important question

[applause] let me make a point to my news media friends. 58% of the american people in the most recent poll favor repeal of obamacare. now, 58% ought to be the center. i mean, where's the center if it's not a majority of the americans? i know for some people the center is the faculty club at harvard or "the new york times" editorial board, but that's not factually correct. so if the president would truly like to be part of the american middle, sign the repeal. two, sign tort reform for doctors. he said the other night he'd like to do it, let's let him do it.

president obama, it was under president obama's direction without congress' participation that we now have a doubling of fuel efficiency for cars that'll take effect between now and 2025. obama decided to expand an offshore drilling for oil and gas. and he granted lots of waivers to states from the requirements of the no child left behind statute. so that now most of its central provisions aren't, the states aren't bound by them. think about stem cell funding, right? president bush decided there wouldn't be federal funding for stem cell research, president obama decided there would be. but all of these decisions are made by presidents. and this is just on the domestic side. on the foreign policy side, presidents have even more dominance. presidents play a far larger role in the determination of u.s. policy, and congress plays a far smaller role than the framers intended. recent illustration is when president obama decided that our military would be involved and intervene in libya, it was his decision. even though congress is supposed to decide when we send troops into battle overseas.
